A Long Awaited Catch-up!

Hello everyone still here on my old book blog! Long time no reviews, right?! What a strange few years it's been when COVID hit I had to isolate, we tragically lost my uncle and nearly my cousin and her husband too, my dad then broke his foot and after that spent three years unable to walk awaiting hip replacement surgery, we lost little Splodgie our bunny just after he turned eight very suddenly and I won't lie to you I was very low, depression I struggled with as a teen came back and I also dipped back into old negative self harming habits. It has been a rough few years and very mentally draining, the pleasure of reading slipped away as I tried hard to regain my sense of self and move on with what felt like jigsaw pieces left from my old life pre-covid to reassemble into a new life. So what has changed post COVID? Well, for me the biggets change is this year, 2024, in January I got my learners driving license and passed my theory test in the first two weekxs of the year which at 27 nearly 28 and being years on from my last exam experience at GCSE's I am immensly proud of myself for going through and not only getting through the test and passing first time trying it. I got through the shaking, crippling anxiety and passed with 50/50 on the questions! I have always been my own harshest critic and still seems incredible how far I've come deciding to go on the journey to driving despite my health wobbles I'm doing it, I have a beautiful little white Fiat Panda and am awaiting a practical test date to come now. As for reading and blogging now I am doing better and feeling brighter, I am coming back, intermittently but I am here, Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/28656604-eve-beinguniquebeingme Also on Instagram too @beinguniquebewingmeeve feel free to message, comment etc Also to you still here, thank you!
